David Foster: Better Health Care, One Patient at a Time

By increasing, sustaining and enhancing access to healthcare, ACA will make us, as a collective population, healthier.

Now, it is true that no patient has ever closed the door to my office and asked me how they can make the country a healthier place. But, over time, each individual will experience better care at some point because of the ACA.

And, isn’t this the reason we all are in the health-care profession? To make people healthier?

Dr. David Foster was a co-executive producer of Fox’s medical drama, “House.”
